Two LATs supporting #FloodFire. Heavies completed 1 load & reloading in San Bernandino. Type 1 helo also on order. Air Attack flew fire earlier today & reporting acres at 3,500 w/no containment at this time.
Approx. 160 personnel supporting the fire, incl. 6 hand crews, engines, water tenders, & overhead.
🚫***Remember*** fires are a no drone zone! If you fly, we can't. Flying a drone over a fire is a major safety issue that puts our firefighters, pilots, & public at risk & impedes suppression efforts.
📍Fire loc. est. 3 mi. NW of the Oracle Junction. It's burning west of SR 79 in Pinal County.

#FloodFire Update: Fire made significant push overnight to NW due to outflow winds that hit fire area. Gusts up to 30mph fanned fire in all directions - creating erratic fire behavior.
Fire activity has moderated some this am, but fire still active & making push uphill. Est. 3k acres & burning w/n flat & rolling terrain thru desert veg.
Due to increased fire activity overnight, GO for Panther Butte neighborhood & the Palo Verde Ranch. Fire approx. 3 miles from Panther Butte.
Today state hand crews will go direct on fire - along fire's edge to suppress fire. Add'l resources will scout other areas that are safe to insert more crews. W/NW sides of fire the most active.
